Cristiano Ronaldo’s diet secrets shared by former staff

Cristiano Ronaldo has long been admired for his elite fitness levels.

Fresh insight into his routine has now been revealed by someone who worked closely with him.

According to A bola, Ronaldo’s former personal chef Giorgio Barone has opened up on the strict dietary discipline that underpins the forward’s longevity at the top level.

He explained that nutrition plays a dominant role.

Barone stated that performance is “60% diet and 40% training”.

Barone detailed how Ronaldo’s meals are built around balance and consistency.

Breakfast is simple but controlled, often including eggs, avocado and coffee without sugar.

In fact, the complete avoidance of sugar is a core principle of his diet.

Lunch and dinner follow a similar structure.

Lean proteins such as chicken or fish are paired with vegetables.

Traditional carbohydrates like pasta and bread are avoided.

Instead, any necessary carbohydrates come from vegetables, maintaining a clean and efficient nutritional intake.

The chef also highlighted Ronaldo’s stance on dairy, claiming the former Manchester United forward avoids it entirely.

Alternatives such as almond, oat or rice milk are preferred, aligning with a broader philosophy of keeping the body fuelled with what he considers optimal sources.

Alongside revealing these details, Barone also raised uncertainty over Ronaldo’s future.

He admitted there are doubts about whether the veteran forward will feature at the 2026 World Cup, despite the player previously hinting he could retire after the tournament.

Off the pitch, Ronaldo continues to make major moves.

He recently purchased a 25% stake in UD Almeria, showing his growing interest in football ownership.

Meanwhile, at Al Nassr, there is increasing speculation that his son could be promoted to the first team.

That scenario would open the door to a rare moment in football, with father and son potentially playing together if Ronaldo extends his career.

For now, his relentless discipline remains central to everything.
